My old leatherneck dad knew his sons were destined for military service and so instilled in us his beliefs on politics and the military. He felt it was dangerous for military personel to ally themselves too closely with any particular party. He voted for Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and anybody else he felt was the best candidate for the job. I do the same. So I am an independant in the truest sense of the word.

I don't like or need any political categories because I have my own opinion, so I chose Independent.

Independent.
Currently against the current South Korean party in power because they're bending over to the North Koreans.

I voted Republican. I thought that if people are Independents they don't vote? (That is what I've heard anyhow).

I'd rather have someone be Independent and not vote than vote liberal though! Hehehe.

We don't have most of those parties in Canada, so I'll have to say that I'm a Conservative.

"I thought that if people are Independents they don't vote?"

Who the heck told you THAT? Sounds like party bigotry to me. As I said in my original post in this thread, I vote either for a Republican or a Democrat if they are who I believe to be the best person for the job. Heh, I'd even vote for a Progressive if I thought they were the best candidate. So far, that hasn't happened yet. I've voted in every election to come my way since I turned 21. The voting age wasn't lowered to 18 until 1971. My state, Vermont, has two Independants in Congress. Our lone Congressman and one of our two Senators. They both vote quite frequently and often quite differently. I tend to be more of the Jim Jeffords variety than the Bernie Sanders kind.

My history professor...um, just Wednesday too. He said if one cannot assocaite with one party or another chances are it is an excuse not to vote, and they do not have the ability to make such a decision. His words, not mine.
